Over the past few months, Michigan football fans have heard rumors about players taking the next step or making an impact in spring ball or fall camp.
And one of the players who has been mentioned most often is defensive back, Brad Hawkins. The junior has previous playing experience for the Wolverines and saw action in 10 games last season, recording 23 tackles, three tackles for loss and one pass deflection.
The 6-foot-1 defensive back who is around 220 pounds was a reserve in the secondary for the most part last season, but after taking a noticeable step forward this offseason, that’s not going to be the case any longer.
